Abstract

A lateral diffusion metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) transistor structure comprises a barrier layer, a semiconductor layer, a source, a first drain and a guard ring. The barrier layer with a first polarity is disposed in a substrate. The semiconductor layer with a second polarity is disposed on the barrier layer. The source has a first polarity region and a second polarity region both formed in the semiconductor layer. The first drain is disposed in the semiconductor layer and has a drift region with the second polarity. The guard ring with the first polarity extends downward from a surface of the semiconductor layer in a manner of getting in touch with the barrier layer and to surround the source and the drain, and is electrically connected to the source.
